Mark Kozak & His 1925 Indian Prince

Our September 2017 cover bike is owned by Mark Kozak, and we were excited to shoot his 1925 Indian Prince for this month’s cover. Mark is from Kansas City, Missouri, and we had the opportunity to gather additional information about him and his Prince. We also had fun shooting cover model Kate on Mark’s bike for this month’s cover. I’m sure you’ll also enjoy this month’s behind the scenes photos and video!
